Information and Communication Technologies are now a common feature in classroom activities. The aim of this study was to present praxis developed for the tablet for use by primary education students (aged 6-12) studying the natural sciences and mathematics. This research is qualitative and follows the narrative-ethnographic approach. The study sample consisted of 120 primary education students and 52 educational blogs. The results and conclusions reveal praxis that is rarely innovative or ludic. The bulk of tablet-based activities were for natural sciences classes rather than mathematics, and the most common practice with the tablet in the natural sciences was information searching and content exploration. The most widely used apps were the Google search engine, YouTube and the tablet's default apps (camera, image and video editor). Course content in the natural sciences focused on living beings and states of matter, and the activities developed for children to do on the tablet aimed to foster learning through discovery, exploration and enquiry. In mathematics, a traditional methodological approach was apparent in children's use of the tablet for typical activities related to units of measurement.
信息通信技术如今已成为课堂活动的一个常见特征。本研究的目的是介绍为平板电脑开发的实践方法，供学习自然科学和数学的小学学生（6至12岁）使用。本研究属于定性研究，采用叙事民族志方法。研究样本包括120名小学学生和52个教育博客。研究结果和结论显示，相关实践方法鲜有创新性或趣味性。基于平板电脑的活动大多用于自然科学课程而非数学课程，在自然科学课程中，使用平板电脑最常见的做法是信息搜索和内容探索。使用最广泛的应用程序是谷歌搜索引擎、YouTube和平板电脑的默认应用程序（相机、图像和视频编辑器）。自然科学课程内容聚焦于生物和物质状态，为孩子们在平板电脑上开展的活动旨在通过发现、探索和探究促进学习。在数学方面，孩子们使用平板电脑进行与测量单位相关的典型活动时，明显采用了传统的教学方法。
